Whether the SUV will come to India or not is unclear, as of now, however, it is likely to based on Qashqai Premium Concept which was showcased by the automaker during 2016 Geneva Motor Show.

The 2017 Nissan Qashqai, apart from having many upgradations, will feature "Piloted Drive" semi-autonomous technology.

According to some media reports, while discussing about the technology, Richard Candler, head of advanced product strategy, informed said “It can manage the steering, braking and acceleration and it is especially useful for stop and go traffic and motorway driving. It’ll be a reasonable price."

The exterior design of the 2017 Nissan Qashqai could not be ascertained well as it was camouflaged. However, updates about the new autonomous technology are doing rounds the corner.

The propilot autonomous tech is likely to be available on higher spec models by Nissan with features such as blind spot assist, around view monitor and automatic parking.

Nissan's Qashqai is currently not available in the Indian market. It is marketed in Japan, Middle East, North America, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom, and Russia.
